From the season finale, we now know, or are almost sure that the statue is Taweret.
"Early during the Old Kingdom, the Egyptians came to see female hippopotami as less aggressive than the males, and began to view their aggression only as one of protecting their young and being good mothers, particularly since it is the males that are territorially aggressive. Consequently, Taweret became seen, very early in Egyptian history, as a deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women wore amulets with her name or likeness to protect their pregnancies. Her image could also be found on knives made from hippopotamus ivory, which would be used as wands in rituals to drive evil spirits away from mothers and children."

If this is the case, maybe the pregnancy issues were created when the statue was destroyed?
This would be a HUGE mythological advance, and it may give some more answers if some of the mysteries were parented by Greek Mythology.
Keep in mind the is a huge sense of Greek Fatalism, maybe the Island is a home of Gods? I have no idea. But that's a theory that should not be overlooked.
